I hope I can get the control surfaces designed in fairly easy. What's cool about this technology is that you can do some nice hinges/pivots built in instead of messing with tape or stiff live hinges. My white wing uses carbon rods at each end rotating on center in bushings.

I tried to cut out a 38" version from some EPS last year and threw some draggy linkages in it (edit: I'm going to see what i can do to CAD up some Rotary drive adapters for thingiverse). I attached a picture with the wrong sweep angles set (oops). I've since split and rejoined and corrected all the other angles, but I've also added more chord evenly to the sections for a little better wing loading. http://winglib.com/wing/mubuvu-a-forked-version All of the FPV gear/camera will live in the under pod (not secured in the photo). Rx/servos and FrSky voltage divider lives in the wings. I don't expect this to go very fast, but if it works then I can justify cutting out a bigger/stronger one with better parts. ![]() Hoping to maiden it in a month or two. I'll post more pictures when it's all done. |

Nope. I barely have enough time to keep my quads up and running with an occasional printed part here and there. A true 3D Printed airframe would require a master draftsman after having experience printing several of the 3D Lab Print airframe designs. I thought I could fake it with some of the crude mods I did with my original 3D Printed flying wing but the Mubu needs a lot of work to make it right.

The drafting part isn't that hard.
It's actually the slicer that's the tricky part. That, and the extreme sweep of the wing will require either a very large printer or some fairly advanced joining techniques. |

This is a good example of the ideal modeling for making something with integral strength and important details.

I dusted off my eps foam version recently. I printed some winglets for it but after some CG balance tests, I need to cut and shape a longer fuselage for it since the tolerances are really tight. At this point I just want to see if this thing will fly so i'm going to skip all the extra fpv weight.
